When you say "with Upper Credit ONLY", that means those with distinction shouldn't apply.

I tire o. They have forgotten that most of the upper grades in Nigeria are paid for and the guys with lower grades are usually the once who read and did not get the favour of corrupt lecturers.

We deliberately refuse to understand our own environment in Nigeria. If anyone wants the best for his business in a highly corrupt society like ours, its best to ask all applicants to put their first class papers aside and measure the true IQ and level of emotional intelligence through series of interviews and test/essay.

On the contrary.

The sacking of Leicester City coach(Claudio Ranieri) reminds me of the saying... *_That 'It doesn't matter what you did yesterday or how powerful u might be yesterday . Just work more hard today...'for a better tomorrow_*

You had 4 or 5 years to spend and you couldn't show that you are good in an easy environment like a university, instead you wasted it. you now want others to waste their productive time testing and interviewing millions of job applicants when they can pick the best from amongst the best in the shortest possible time.
I think this way of thinking is probably why you didn't grad with at least a 3.5.

I wonder d prospect of dis country as regard grade and work ethics. I know of a distinction graduate who can't even defend his certificate. Being able to read doesn't justify d fact DAT u may be gud on d job. Nice observation bro
